If spam calls or texts, I just tell or send them the Gospel of Jesus Christ. The few that listen might experience a life transformation. In a bad area, it might have ripple effects.
Whereas, trolling them is repaying evil with evil with low likelihood of positive effects.

We need to have honest, human conversations with these people. What I might do is what some of them do. If I can’t answer, and it’s likely spam, the software could send a pre-made reply that tries to start a conversation about Christ or their life choices. The LLM scores responses to see if they respond positively to that. If so, it lets me know to take over. Otherwise, a polite reply that we’re not interested.
